Total results: 1915
A short entry for now of what we believe may have been a working title (or not quite remembered correctly by Peter Kaminski). Whilst talking about Pyramid of Time, Peter recalled a title that Russell Lieblich was working on around … Continue reading
1992 Codemasters Platforms: Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and PC It’s with thanks to the wonderful yolkfolk.com website and their eagle eyes that we learn of yet another Dizzy game that never was. This was no arcade or arcade adventure game … Continue reading
A small entry thanks to Peter Weighill, who highlighted this advert (see gallery) in Your Computer Nov 1984 on page 215 & Dec 1984 on page 58 for Learning and Training Systems. In the advert, they have 3 educational games … Continue reading
A brief new entry which we kind of missed before – as the coder Mario Knezovic had mentioned it in one of his previous creator speaks for Seven Gates of Jambala. At the same time as working on that C64 … Continue reading
Legend was a rather nifty RPG released by Mindscape back in 1991 which has gone down as one of the best RPG’s on the Amiga. Originally though it was due to be released by Mirrorsoft before their collapse, and also … Continue reading
A book and adventure combo which originally got a release on the Spectrum platform and can be found in the WOS archives at http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0006571 The game is a simple text adventure that was fairly well recived on the Spectrum, but … Continue reading
This will be a quick entry, as we know nothing about Legend of Fairghad apart from the fact that it was meant to be an adventure game. There seems to be no other version in existance and information is almost … Continue reading
A very quick entry for a title which may well be vapourware, but was briefly mentioned in the news pages of Zzap Italia back in 1987. Legendary Wings was a famous 1986 Capcom arcade which strangely never got a conversion, … Continue reading

If you don’t know about Lemmings, then you haven’t lived. Released on every machine under the sun and now enjoying a revival as exclusives on Sony’s PSP (curses) and Playstation2 (due to Sony owning Psygnosis (drat, drat and triple drat … Continue reading
Yet another Lemmings conversion for the C64, but this time an official conversion which surprisingly was almost done by DMA Designs themselves! During the development of Lemmings, Mike Dailly who worked as part of DMA at the time got working … Continue reading
Another surprise, but it seems there was an influx of Lemmings developments going on, and here we have a second official conversion which was being done by Jed Adams who worked with Mike Dailly (who created the first test demo). … Continue reading
Lemonoids was to be a sort of sequel to the puzzler Stratagos, which also didn’t sadly get released. The game had lemons with faces that had to be re-arranged in particular way. Andrew believes he probably spent more time doing … Continue reading
1993 Radical Software Platform: Amstrad CPC (possibly Plus range) With the infamous Amstrad version of Street Fighter 2 never going to appear, a fan of the machine would take matters into their own hands back in 1993 with the development … Continue reading
After sampling the great Rolling Ronny game from BONESPARK, they had much much more in store for our beloved C64’s back in the early 90’s. One such promising title was a conversion of a stunning Amiga German (thanks Teki!) shooter … Continue reading
A very old C64 title that has seemingly been lost to time, highlighted to us by Håvar Bruvold Hojem and spotted in a 1984 US gaming catalogue called Soft Encyclopaedia. The title was apparently to be released on cartridge, and … Continue reading
Early days it may be as we attempt to find out more about yet another game that never was, we can in fact show a fair chunk of the game via some of its bitmap designs for levels and other … Continue reading
Advertised in many magazines, this was a title being sold by Anik Microsystems… however only two Anik games exist and seem to have been released on the C64. The advert describes the game as follows: "Make the connection 4 enjoyment" … Continue reading
Thanks to Peter Weighill for the heads up. This entry is a collection entry for a bunch of educational titles that were advertised by “Little People Software” in the 80’s in America, but don’t seem to have surfaced just yet. … Continue reading
